BRATTLEBORO — The network of trails in Wilmington and Marlboro has expanded dramatically.

It has been so great to hike and mountain bike all over Hogback Mountain and down near Lake Raponda. Additionally, the Hoot, Toot, and Whistle Trail and Valley Trail in Wilmington have made huge strides towards completion this year.

These trails are tremendous assets to the area, and all are encouraged to get out on their bikes, or to hike, especially with fall in full effect.

This is nuts!

By
Rep. Ann Manwaring
Wednesday, May 1, 2013 — Issue 201

Two bills that directly impact the Education Fund are moving through the Legislature - bills that, acting together, seem to cancel each other out and are therefore most troubling to me. One is “An Act Relating to Making Miscellaneous Amendments to Education Funding Laws” (H.538), which through several strategies seeks to contain spending on education, thus also constraining increases in property taxes.

Nearly 80 years after the war ended, Reichsman became the first person to recover artwork that was looted during the Holocaust in Croatia, which was part of Yugoslavia for most of the 20th century. Three Croatian museums returned paintings, lithographs, and...
